Otex Olive Oil Drops

I’ve been using Otex Olive Oil Ear Drops to help soften and gently remove ear wax, and they work really well. The drops are easy to apply, feel soothing, and haven’t caused any irritation. Within a few days of regular use, I noticed a significant improvement in wax buildup ears felt clearer and more comfortable. The olive oil formulation feels natural and gentle, without the harshness of stronger chemical alternatives, and it doesn’t leave an unpleasant residue. Great option if you want a simple, mild ear care solution that actually helps with wax softening and removal.

I used these olive oil drops, in conjunction with “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera”, to clear both ears of impacted wax. It took me a month. Both my ears had impacted ear wax, meaning the wax was hardened against the eardrum and seemingly immovable. Olive oil is an unsaturated (liquid) fat. It's recommended for consumption as it helps soften and melt the saturated (solid) fats that build up inside our blood vessels. That's why many put it on their food. It's not too dissimilar to what it does with your solid “fatty” earwax. The olive oil softens and melts the earwax it comes into contact with. See pictures for before and after Olive oil applications (2 days between pictures). You can see a distinct sheen from the wax that has been ‘melted’, but this is superficial (on the surface) only. I do not believe olive oil is penetrative in any way; that is to say, I don't think it breaks-up earwax. As said; I used an ear camera with scoop attachment to remove the wax, small amounts at a time, over the course of 4 weeks. See my review of “ScopeAround Wireless Otoscope Ear Camera” for details. I applied olive oil three times per day, softening the wax, then used the scope camera every other day to scoop out the softened wax I could. It took 10 days to clear one ear and another 18 days to clear the other. I did one ear at a time, so in total, around a month. Would olive oil have worked had I just used it on its own? In my opinion, not in my case, as the wax was hardened/impacted. However for ‘normal’ ear wax, I believe it would melt the wax, causing it to evacuate out the ear of its own accord. Sleeping on the side of the affected ear would encourage the wax to move out, a gravity assist. I have tried the Otex drops. I agree with some of the reviews that indicate it changes earwax to a yellow sticky sludge (used a camera to see), which may or may not be easier to evacuate. The downside of the Otex drops is they are chemicals which can only be used for a short time (few days at the most). Olive oil is natural, slow working and harmless.

This ear oil is a good alternative to a non-oil solution and is suitable for children too. It’s easy to use and you might need to warm the bottle before use. The quantity is sufficient and lasts a long time. It helped our family during colds when earwax hardens, keeping our ears clean and preventing congestion.

Certainly clears wax. Good product.

Worked really well for blocked ears, I popped the little tub in a cup of hot water for 2 minutes then dropped a few drops in my ear twice a day and after 4 days, booked ears were clearer. Definitely worth it.

Didn’t really work It helped a little bit but not like I needed it to

Surprisingly, absolutely fabulous. I have been struggling with dizziness, off-balance, buzzing in my ears which triggered numerous other symptoms for months. I’ve tried so many different things but nothing worked. I have been using these drops three times a day for three days and I am no longer feeling dizzy, the dryness in my ears has gone, and there’s no dizziness. Absolutely amazed and the product itself is fabulous, easy to use, no issues. Will definitely continue using.

I have had these drops before and they do the job
